To determine the size of the Governing Body for implementation in September 2015
Governing body membership was discussed and reviewed to reflect the regulations and to create a new Instrument of Government for the school for implementation from September 2015. Recognising that as a Voluntary Aided school the foundation governors must be in the majority of two, the governors agreed to restructure and reduce the size of the Governing Body from 20 to 12 members as reflected below:
